Abstract
Telecommunications connect the world in unprecedented ways! Today the Internet is the tool for truly global collaboration to promote human development. Maternal-child health nurses who were formerly isolated in their own practices can now meet share and strategize in online virtual communities. I want to tell readers about a list that empowers nurses to contribute to global health issues: the Global Alliance for Nursing and Midwifery (GANM) list. The GANM list is supported by the Implementing Best Practices (IBP) Initiative (2006) a collaborative forum created by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Partner Agencies (such as International Planned Parenthood Federation United Nations Population Fund Engender Health Johns Hopkins University). The IBP goal is to identify and apply evidence-based practices to improve reproductive health outcomes in low-resource settings. The IBP vehicle for sharing effective practices is the Knowledge Gateway a Web portal of electronic communication tools to support multiple virtual Communities of Practice. The IBP provides Web tools for networking-without cost or advertisement-to any group that shares their mission. (excerpt)
